What is it?
opencode-scheduled-jobs lets you run OpenCode prompts on a recurring schedule on macOS, using launchd agents. Jobs can be created by asking the agent, which calls tools such as schedule_job, list_jobs, update_job and run_job, or through a Scheduled jobs side panel in OpenCode Desktop.
The Desktop panel shows each job's schedule, next run, run history and log, and lets you create, edit, run, stop, pause and delete jobs. A titlebar pill displays how many jobs are running or failed. It is designed as a V2 replacement for opencode-scheduler and reads and writes the same job files, so existing scheduled jobs continue without migration.
Each run executes opencode run in the job's working directory non-interactively, so questions are denied and prompts should be able to finish on their own. Job definitions, run records and logs are stored as plain files under ~/.config/opencode, and a timeout can be set for jobs that might hang. The OpenCode Desktop plugin API is marked experimental, so the panel may need updates.
